Intermittent Connectivity
An operating environment in which a device or system experiences repeated gaps in network availability rather than continuous connectivity or permanent absence of it, requiring applications and protocols designed to…
Concept/Framework
IoT Gateway
A hardware device positioned between constrained edge devices and backend network infrastructure, aggregating device traffic and translating between the device-facing protocol — LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Modbus, and similar — and the…
